Yeah, that was big. Regardless, I think the ball went out before that but lord knows we didn't want the refs to have a chance to screw us. On the downside of what ifs, thank you Rice for breaking up that deep pick Russ threw right after that.

If a Bear would have fallen on it, the refs would have ignore the out of bounds on the ball. You jump on that thing no matter what!

What about that 4th down and 6 play with under 2 min to play leading to a Golden Tate score.

It wasn't called and given the direction that game was heading, it's a damn good thing our guy scooped it up.

Fine in this example but this is not the first time Wilson has done this. Preseason if i remember. Its a trait, an awareness and i like it. My only complaint about the lax ball security is that QBs dont belong in the pile resecuring a fumble.
